Share a simple code snippet

[wezmag]

Hi,

I would like to share a simple code snippet that I've been using since I started using Serenity.

Add Code Snippet to your Visual Studio

1. Create a code sinppet file with filename FieldProp.snippet and content as below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
	<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
		<Header>
			<Title>Serenity Field Property</Title>
			<Author>Wesley Huang</Author>
			<Shortcut>fprop</Shortcut>
		</Header>
		<Snippet>
			<Code Language="CSharp">
            <![CDATA[
                [DisplayName("$DisplayName$")]
                public $Type$ $FieldName$
                {
                    get => fields.$FieldName$[this];
                    set => fields.$FieldName$[this] = value;
                }
            ]]></Code>
			<Declarations>
				<Literal>
					<ID>FieldName</ID>
					<ToolTip>Field Name</ToolTip>
					<Default>FieldName</Default>
				</Literal>
				<Literal>
					<ID>DisplayName</ID>
					<ToolTip>Display Name</ToolTip>
					<Default>DisplayName</Default>
				</Literal>
				<Literal>
					<ID>Type</ID>
					<ToolTip>Type</ToolTip>
					<Default>string</Default>
				</Literal>
			</Declarations>
		</Snippet>
	</CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

2. Place the file in the \Documents\Visual Studio 2022\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets folder.

To use the code snippet.

1. type fprop and press Tab twice.
2. using Tab to switch between DisplayName, Type and FieldName
3. press Enter to add it to your code.

Hope you find this helpful.
Happy Lunar New Year!
